The 1st Armored
Division headquarters and staff were supported by
the division headquarters company (HHC). The HHC commander was the
headquarters commandant, responsible for
establishing and supporting the the division command post.

The division base
units were administratively assigned to
the division support command (DISCOM). Tactically,
however, they were controlled by the division
headquarters and so I have chosen to show them here.
The air defense artillery battalion had four
batteries, two with self-propelled 20mm Vulcan
antiaircraft guns and two with self-propelled
Chaparral surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems. Each
firing battery also had eighteen Redeye or
Stinger
shoulder-fired SAM systems. The combat engineer
battalion had three companies
equipped with armored combat engineer vehicles and a
bridging company. In addition to its four companies,
the military intelligence battalion also had a
separate long-range surveillance platoon and an
aerial signals intelligence detachment.
